From practical point of view it is not very important to understand why impermanence
is unavoidable. What is very important? To behave as one who knows that
impermanence is unavoidable. And since you do not have such knowledge you should
use your saddha.
I try to do that. But as far as I can see the understanding of (the universal nature of)
impermanence makes the difference, so I regard it as very important.

By asking questions why? how? you are like Ven Malunkyaputta.
Well, if the end result is going to be the same in my case, I am happy to hear that.
Apart
from that I don't see any close relation of my question(s) to that of the Ven. Malunkyaputta.
With best wishes,

If you really regard it as very important, just give up all your possessions, find good cave and
stay there.You think too much about the universal nature of impermanence while the same
impermanence slowly devouring you
How long will you be alive, how much time do you have? Oh sorry, I have forgotten that you
are still unsure, whether your body will die or not
